You probably needed the extra sleep.Whenever that happens to me,I realise that I should probably be in bed sleeping anyway,even if it is early.:o

Hello freeby the title of your diary caught my eye. My target is to be freeby 50something, which considering at one time I thought I would leave this mortal world (even if I got a birthday card from the Queen) with debts is some mean feat. I too spend every month playing catch up with my o/d and hope this year to finally get into the black

Hope you don't mind me joining you

Good Morning

Well, there is exciting news this morning (well I think so anyway)

Remember I had trouble with Mr T and them taking £100 off my card that they weren't supposed to???? Well, it is a very long story but eventually (after much ranting and raving) they paid £160 back to my card to cover the costs and a goodwill gesture Result, I thought. Well, this morning I opened my emails to discover a lovely email from someone who said they had reviewed my complaint again and in addition they were now sending me a £100 gift card because it it all turned into such a nightmare :T:T:T then, apology, apology, apology :rotfl:They have also added 1000 points to my clubcard :T:T:T
My faith in Mr T has been restored (but I'll never use them on-line again)

DD1 has been off all this week and home alone so to keep her busy and to stop her making a mess I gave her the task of making an inventory of everything that is in the freezer and the cupboards. And a fine job she did too The upshot of it is that I could feed a small nation with what I have packed away Because she was involved she is quite excited about coming up with ideas for using it all up and getting them back down to zero again. I have promised her that when they are down to the bare bones she can come shopping with me and we'll fill the cupboards again with stuff that she likes (not 100 bars of chocolate ) and she can have an input into the meals we make etc.

So that giftcard from Mr T will see me through the next month or so while we run the stocks down to pick up all the little extra fresh bits. I plan to make it stretch for a very long time.

What else, apart from all that, nothing very much.

Bank account is still at £259dr I have ebay items ending today and one of them will definitely sell Clothes for cash man is coming to take the bag of clothes away And, of course, it is Friday :j:j

I am a happy little Freeby today

Wow! Brilliant news on the Mr T front :T

I'm trying to run my freezers down ..... but I don't seem to be getting very far - every little bit of space I make seems to get filled up with left overs!:rotfl:

Have a good Friday.

Good Morning

Hooray it is the weekend :T

Not much to report since my good news of yesterday. Another NSD which means I have spent nothing since last Saturday when I did my shopping and I am not planning on going anywhere today or tomorrow. I have enough fresh stuff in that needs used up before I get any more and I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Mr T gift card before I go again

The clothes for cash bag got collected yesterday and I'll probably hear at the beginning of next week how much that will bring me. Not very much I expect but it all helps.

Ebay item has sold and paid for so I must post that today. And speaking of ebay it is a free listing weekend :T so I will be frantically getting lots of stuff on over the next two days. I only have 11 things listed at the moment - which is just not good enough - lol.

I have my work cut out for me today :eek: My bff has two labradors and is poorly at the moment and her DH is away all day today. So I have them to give her some peace That is four black labradors all causing chaos right at this moment They have just arrived and they are just so excited to see each other, if dogs could have BFF's that would be this four . Give them another 15 minutes and they will all have worn themselves out and will be sleeping peacefully (I hope)
As soon as it is light we are all going out for a very long walk. DD1 is coming too as there is no way I could walk four on their leads until I get to where I can let them off. But I love dogs and I love having them all, so I am in doggy heaven this morning.
I know, I know - clearly mad :rotfl:

Ohhhhh my my bff has 2 rotties & that's bad enough when they get together with Maisie!

Awwww sounds like a heavenly day to me too!

Think I'm going to head over to the beach this morning (rather than mid-afternoon) - looks like there's a chance there may be snow later :eek: and I don't want to leave it & then not be able to go as I need petrol..... also seem to just about have (yet) another dog towel wash to do & there will def be enough after today's beach trip :cool: - haven't done the empty wash to clean the WM after the last lot so makes sense to do this new lot before doing that IYSWIM?


Have fun today!:rotfl:(bet you'll sleep tonight!;))

Great result re Mr T and sounds like you have a fun but tiring day ahead. Enjoy x
